Can this defense win a Superbowl?

When I see how this team has to win I think about The 2015 Broncos. Great defense and just enough offense to get it done. Sure, this formula can win, but remember that Denver should have been eliminated that year in Pittsburgh if not for a fumble.When you play this style of ball against good to great teams, you're going to need some breaks/turnovers to go your way to win.

The Bucs offense is actually one of the best in the league. 

 

They were held to 3 points at home. It just does not get much better than that. 

 

Can this Panthers defense get us to the promise land like the Ravens Superbowl team? Why not?

Yes they can and it’s thanks to Ron Rivera.

I don't think so. The difference between those other teams and us is A) Those other teams produced turnovers at a pretty high rate and B) were able to overcome poor field position their offenses put them in with stops or not allowing scoring opportunities. As of right now, over 57% of this team's turnovers (INT + Fumbles) are converted into points by the other teams (14 turnovers has resulted 8 scoring drives via TD or FG). 

The other factor is IF this team gets a lead, the auto-prevent mentality that Rivera goes to makes this defense suspect and has too often resulted in games coming down to the last second. 

So until turnovers start to increase and the defense plays aggressive from start to finish, they aren't Superbowl caliber.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud.

      The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By countryboi · Posted

      I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
